  • Polyphenylene ether resins are high performance engineering thermoplastics having relatively high melt viscosities and softening points (i.e., in excess of 200°C.). They are useful for many commercial applications requiring high temperature resistance and can be formed into films, fibers and molded articles.
  • polyphenylene ethers have major draw­backs, and these are unattractive flow properties and a tendency to degrade by taking up oxygen at elevated temp­eratures. There have, therefore, been attempts to improve the flow properties and the oxidation resistance of these resins.
  • Finholt, U.S. Patent No. 3,379,792 discloses the addition of a polyamide to the polyphenylene ether.
  • the polyamides are formed from the condensation of diamines and dibasic acids and the self-condensation of amino acids as well as polyamides formed by the polymeriza­tion of lactams.

If styrene resins are present flow in improved, but not so dramatically, because styrene resins themselves have excellent flow.
  • a further unexpected advantage of employing the flow promoting addi­tives described herein is that the oxygen uptake of the composition during processing is reduced, usually by 25-30% in comparison with controls. Accordingly, the compositions of the present invention demonstrate improved oxidative stability over unmodified polyphenylene ether resin.
  • modifiers chemically react with the polyphenylene ether resin to reduce the molecular weight increase which usually accompanies the melting of polyphenylene ether resins, and that they also act as processing aids.
  • a blend of the ingredients was prepared, compound­ing the blend by passage through a extruder at about 300°C. melt temperature, and cooling and chopping the extrudate into pellets.
